Assignment Value:
So far, 13 people have completed this assignment.
Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include "DS106 Radio" and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.

Bumping in the Night
This bumper is for AudioAssignments2616, part of our radio show that we’re putting together. I don’t want to give any more away so suffice it to say, I found two pieces of sound: background music and birds chirping. Then I recorded a message to keep listening to Radio7 for the …

Radio Bumper
I used https://freesound.org again to find a background sound. Then I transferred it over to Audacity, and recorded my part of the radio bumper.
I can’t always think of what to say for a radio bumper, I usually go through like 10 different scripts before I find the right one …
Pump Down the Volume
Since the radio show is dealing with advice for college students, I went in that direction with my bumper. I hope our advice will help and bring a little joy to the listeners.

I used SoundTrap to make the bumper. I began by recording the message. I actually used …
Radio Bumper
The prompt
This is a fairly straightforward assignment, done out of necessity, so it has a fairly straightforward finished product. We need bumpers for our radio show, so I made one for when we come back from a commercial break. It’s pretty simple. I took some stock music I already …
DS106 Radio Show Bumper
For my radio show bumper, I went for a vibe that has been living rent-free in my head since the start of the semester: Lofi. Lofi, or Lo-Fi, is music that is “low-fidelity” and has low sound quality. It is often referred to as music that contains audio imperfections that …
Tune In!
I was of course inspired by the radio bumpers already on DS106 radio, as well as several other examples I found and a lifetime of listening to the radio, but I also tried to make this bumper my own.
The background music is Reckless by The Spin Wires found at …

Good Morning @ds106 !!!
So it should be very apparent where I drew my inspiration for this assignment. If it is not, please watch this movie, Good Morning, Vietnam! I had fun making this intro, although to say it put me outside my comfort would be an understatement.
I hope that this brought …
Just a Taste
To create my radio bumper I used Audacity to layer and mix. It was a bit harder to use than SoundTrap, but it seemed to have more options. I used SoundBible and 101soundboards for the Bob Ross clips. I thought they went with the theme since the radio …
